Call it the Best of the Kinks mid 70's till ?This album is THE album to introduce to anybody who has a question about the Kinks. The live versions of Lola and You Really Got Me are really good live recordings that brought those songs to new listeners in the late 70's and 80's.
Throw in Low Budget, Superman, Do It Again, Living On A Thin Line, Destroyer, and the funny (now traditional) Father Christmas. This is also one of the few albums you can listen to from start to finish.

Yeah, Come Dancing!"Come dancing with The Kinks" is an excellent 'best of' for the later years, when The Kinks majored in rock, with modern guitar distortion. Earlier covers from later live albums are great: 'You Really Got Me', and 'Lola'. 'Destroyer', 'Superman', 'Juke Box Music', 'Rock and Roll Fantasy', and 'Father Christmas' are standouts, along with 'Come Dancing' and 'Do it Again'. If you like great melodies, a lot of wit, and social commentary that never gets too heavy-handed, delivered by a singing voice as alternately tough and gritty/honest and open as Ray Davies', you'll be pleased with this collection. The weakest song is probably the last: 'Celluloid Heroes', although an excellent song, it suffers from a clunky live arrangement (drums going crash/bash on the 2/4 beats, which is obnoxious). The studio version is better. The Kinks were never known for spit and polish sonics though, so it's forgivable. Compiled from 7 different albums from between 1977 and 1984, this is a good place to start if you might want to collect all or any of them.
